In an attempt to contribute to today’s scholar discussions on foreign language pre-service teachers’ education, this reflective piece illustrates a unique way of teaching research to FL undergraduates. The author first provides an overview on the area of teaching research to undergraduates in Colombia; second, a description of how pre-service teachers learn the theoretical foundations, paradigms, designs and approaches mostly used in educational inquiry; and the two-year process student researchers go through. Finally, the author <em>discusses the lessons learned and what the future of this process might be like. </em></p><p>&nbsp;</p> ER -
